CMS 3810 - Women and Popular Culture

Institution:

Clayton State University

Subject:

Description:

This course explores how women are represented in American popular culture, and how popular culture shapes our common sense notions regarding women, men, and our gender-specific roles in society. We will consider what types of images we see and hear in various forms of popular culture, including Hollywood movies, fashion magazines, television, advertising, music and popular health. We will then question how we learn to respond to and interpret these messages. Throughout our course we will study how pop cultural texts work to create meanings and how we can become critical consumers of those messages. Prerequisite(s): CMS 2100 (C); ENGL 1102 (C).
